Sorry, I don't want Bing by default. You can always add it manually.

This revision now requires changes to proceed.Jun 22 2018, 9:01 AM

I regret this decision but at the same time I respect it.
Adding manually has an inconvenient for users, it does not permit to set up the search suggestions.
How would you recommend that this should be solved? making this settable in the edition dialog?

It would, if Bing supported OpenSearch as other search engines.

No, I don't see a reason to add another default search engine. Currently, there is: the most used one (Google), two privacy oriented engines (StartPage + DuckDuckGo) and Wikipedia.
